Ashland High
School Notes
. (By Leith Abbott.)
Miss Anderson, musical instructor,
has started the development of the
musical circles in the high school.
A girls' chorus was formed Thurs
day morning. Because of the exten
eiveness of the high school courses
the girls' glee club has to meet at
S : 1 5 in the morning. About twenty
girls were present for the first prac
tice. The high school' orchestra also
took definite form Wednesday even
ing. About fifteen musicians an
swered the call, and it is hoped that
a creditable orchestra will soon be
rendering music for school entertain
ments. Coach Heldenreich, accompanied
by most of the football squad, at
tended the circus at Medford Thurs
day night.
Edward Barrett, 18, and Bert
Hawks entered school the past week.
They are hoth good football men and
are numbered among the squad now.
Hawks played and won his letter on
a San Diego high school team last
winter.
The Campflre Oirls are beginning
to form their party for the winter.
A meeting held Tuesday evening
called many old faces together and
a picnic at Fern's Glenn, the girls'
field heedquarters, was planned for
this week. This branch of the phys
ical training course Is one of the
most enjoyable features of the girls.
Ashland's company is a member of
the statewide organization known as
"The Oregon Trail Girls." The girls
of Ashland high are particularly for
tunate in having so many camping
places so close to home. Miss Mofflt
is the leader of the company.
A number of high school students
went on a hayrack ride to the Kings
bury Springs district Friday night
It was one of the gayest occasions of
the season and was the beginning of
a little "pep" which the senior class
hopes to bring into play this year.
Watermelons, sandwiches, marsh
mallows, cake and mineral water
lemonade proved very delightful re
freshments. Coach Heldenreich, one
of the chaperoneg of the party, de
lighted the pleasure-seekers with a
number of well-executed college
pongs during the evening. Coach
Heldenreich was well known in mu
sical circles in college, so that his
songs were a special treat. Those
who enjoyed the pleasant affair
were the Misses Alta Farmer, Char
lotte Chappelle, Ruth Hadley, Fern
Murphy, Mildred Gearheart, Rita
Card, Edith Cole, Mae Skeen, Onelta
Brown, and the Messrs. Hubert Bent
ley, Fred Payne, Cleo Kirk, Johnny
Finneran, Reld Harrell, Leslie Cun
ningham, John Anderson, Desmond
Gill and H. Heldenreich.

May Extend New

now being built in the east end of
the valley by the Roach Timber
Company, says the Sutherlln Sun.
Scottsburg, which is in this coun
ty,' is about 33 miles northwest of
Sutherlin, and offers a waterway to
the sea for large sea-going lumber
barges. With a water outlet for the
products of the big sawmills soon to
be constructed here, not only would
cheaper freight rates be secured, but
the possibility of car shortage tem
porarily closing the mills at certain
seasons of the year would be elim
inated. While no definite plans were form
ulated at the meeting Monday, it is
understood the matter is to be put
in a more formidable shape for fur
ther consideration.
Engineer L. G. Hicks reports work
progressing most satisfactorily on
the grading in the east end of the
valley. Camp 1, which is located on
F. E. Safley's ranch, has been ar
ranged in a most convenient and
sanitary manner. Between 12 and
15 teams are now on the Job and
morel are desired. Several good-

also being constructed and the work
in general is being done in a sub
